BBPs have the potential to facilitate the delivery of drugs to the brain, opening up new avenues for the development of treatments targeting diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). The obstacle faced in central nervous system disorders stems from the formidable task of traversing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) for pharmaceutical agents. Nearly 98% of small molecule-based drugs and nearly 100% of large molecule-based drugs encounter difficulties in successfully penetrating the BBB.

Methods: Primary sequences were transformed into feature vectors using statistical and position-relative moment-based features. Varying machine learning algorithms were employed for classification.
Hormone-binding proteins (HBPs) are specific carrier proteins that bind to a given hormone. A soluble carrier hormone binding protein (HBP), which can interact non-covalently and specifically with growth hormone, modulates or inhibits hormone signaling. HBP is essential for the growth of life, despite still being poorly understood.
